BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Through the advancements in technology, we have realized that time is the valuable thing we will ever have in this world. We will never either get a more time or recapture the time we have spent. In the light of this realization, people start to manage and especially save time even doing household chores so that we have even tried to save our time during washing of dishes and laundry with automatic machines. Till now, consumer products especially detergents are introduced into the market in durable plastic bottles which are thrown away after the product is finished. During laundering or dishwashing, consumer needs to measure the amount of detergent which may lead to spilling, underdosing or overdosing of the detergent whether it is in solid or liquid form. Consumers generally perceive the dosing process laborious. When the detergent is sprinkled during measurement, consumer has to clean it and spend more time than necessary for dosing of a detergent which brings about the spent of other cleaning equipment, money and time. During spill, consumer hands may contact with the detergent and that may lead to allergies, skin sensitization for people having sensitive skin. If the underdosing amount of detergent is measured, the cleaning efficiency and performance of the cleaning composition will be low which lead to incomplete removal of soils and thus, extra washing is required which brings about the fabric degradation, spent of extra detergent, money and time. In the case of overdosing, extra use of detergent may cause fabric degradation since it contains detersive ingredients. Besides the increased cost of the washing process, overdosing is critical in terms of environmental concerns. As a result, consumers wish both to avoid the spill, wasteful overdosing, inefficient underdosing of detergent and to minimize the waste packaging amount.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning composition which eliminates the need of dosing by formulating it in a way as to involve all predetermined portions required for one washing operation as a unit dose product. The use of unit dose detergent attracts the attention of consumers due to precise dosing, avoiding of spills, wasteful overdosing and underdosing. Additionally, unit dose products prevent the contact of consumer hands with detersive or irritant ingredients of cleaning composition. Moreover, unit dose products foster the advantages of ease of handling, storage and transportation. Since these products are covered with water soluble films, the waste packaging amount is reduced which makes them environmentally friendly. Consumers are also dazzled by the convenience of shaped composition which brings about the ease of delivering of unit dose product either from a dispensing drawer or directly into the washing machine drum. Unit dose products take their place in the market to date in various forms starting with the tablets. Manufacturers prepare the tablets with predetermined specific size and shape which enables the fitting of tablets to all washing machines. Although tablets offer the advantages of unit dose products, they suffer from the necessity of powder compaction step in manufacturing process. The powder compaction step may lead to the slow dissolution of active ingredients, the requirement of complex and expensive disintegrant systems, and the decrease of enzyme activity. Therefore, manufacturers seek for an alternative form of a unit dose product and thus, pouches take their place in the market.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning composition which eliminates the need of dosing by formulating it in a way to involve all predetermined portions required for one washing operation as a unit dose cleaning product in the form of a pouch. The spectrum of laundry and dishwashing cleaning compositions is broad in terms of physical forms of the products which give an opportunity to the customers of a choice of detergent product they prefer to use. Cleaning compositions supplied in plastic bottles are either in solid or liquid form. When the point comes to the compactness, meaning unit dose application, it has been a challenge to use different forms of ingredients together by keeping their physical states. Some of the ingredients in cleaning compositions are applied in solid forms due to their manufacturing and processing in solid form; their transportation and supply in solid form which requires extra processing steps to incorporate them in liquid compositions. As a result, their water-insolubility makes them difficult or expensive to incorporate them into liquid cleaning compositions. Detergents ingredients like enzymes, builders and bleaching agents can be used in limited amounts in cleaning compositions due to their stability, solubility and activity problems. On the other hand, some of the ingredients have to be applied in liquid form due to their manufacturing and processing in liquid form, their transportation and supply in liquid form which requires extra processing to incorporate them into solid compositions. As a result, their water-insolubility makes them difficult or expensive to incorporate them into solid cleaning compositions, too. Detergent ingredients like surfactants especially non-ionic surfactants are supplied and transported in liquid form. Besides, the application of liquid ingredients in solid composition may alter the dissolution profiles; enhance moisture retention; develops flowability problems of the solid particles. The situation is similar also in the case of perfumes. These detergent ingredients are indispensable and overwhelming building blocks of cleaning compositions since each ingredient provides substantial cleaning benefit which can't be replaceable by using another one. Therefore, it is required to incorporate detergent ingredients together in a way as to achieve maximum cleaning performance by keeping their natural physical states.

Ingredients incorporated into cleaning compositions are chosen due to their specific functions which require the different delivery time during washing process. For example, perfumes must be delivered at a late stage of washing process in order to absorb malodor existing in the washing machine. As a result of early delivery of enzymes, they may degrade in cleaning environment and may not act properly due to the harsh washing conditions at early stage. Therefore, some ingredients need to be protected and some needed to be delivered at a late cleaning stage. Besides the importance of the protection of specific functions of some ingredients, their release at a proper stage of washing process increases their effectiveness and performance. As a result of this, the excessive use of enzymes and perfumes are reduced that reduces the cost of the application. Successive delivery of particles can be achieved by modulating either the ingredients in preformed compartments or the water soluble film enveloping the unit dose cleaning product. In the case of solid particles, their sequential dissolution can be controlled via the alteration of degree of powder compression or particle size of the solid composition. Another option for the successive release of ingredients is the modulation of the thickness and solubility profile of water soluble films. The solubility profile of water soluble films can be controlled via pH, temperature, ionic strength, enzymes, etc. which may require chemical modifications of water soluble films and thus, it leads to the need for the necessity of difficult and expensive manufacturing and processing steps. The easiest way to control sequential release of ingredients in preformed compartments is to use different water soluble film materials with different thicknesses. Therefore, high product stability, good cleaning performance, decent shine and good odor profile can be achieved by the fostering of advantages of single compartment products with advantages of multi-compartmental products. An object of the present invention is to provide a unit dose cleaning product empowering successive release of ingredients in different physical states.

An object of the present invention is to provide a unit dose cleaning product empowering the sequential delivery of ingredients at different times of washing process.

An object of the present invention is to provide a unit dose cleaning product empowering the sequential delivery of ingredients at different times of washing process by using different water soluble film materials with different thicknesses. Other than technical benefits of unit dose cleaning products, consumers consider the physical appearance of the products as important. Since consumers desire to see the ingredients of the preformed compartments, manufacturers provide transparent, see-through unit dose products. Besides, consumers prefer to observe the presence of liquid composition. Thus, they press and apply force on the unit dose product in order to visualize the liquid inside the compartment. During pressing on the product, the film of liquid compartment can be damaged to release ingredients which lead to the degradation of solid particles. Therefore, the stiffness of the film material is important. If the film of the unit dose product or the preformed compartment f41m is less stiff than desired, unit dose product or preformed compartment becomes soft which obstructs the production process since soft product or compartments may adhere to each other and the shape of them can be deformed. If the film of the product or preformed compartment is brittle than desired, cracks may occur upon applied force which leads to the release of the ingredients. The physical appearance of unit dose products covered by water soluble film materials is affected by the moisture which weakens the structural integrity of products and thus, transportation and storage of these products become troublesome. When these products are stored in close proximity, they may tend to stick together which lead to rupturing or breaking of the films. Therefore, it is important to coat the surface of unit dose product film by using powders in order to provide excellent slip and anti-blocking properties. The suitable powder can be selected from calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, clay, talc, silicic acid and kaolin.

Ingredients especially liquid ones may leak from the compartment and migrate into solid composition which causes degradation of storage incompatible ingredients. US6995126B2 tries to solve leakage problem by forming a second seal on the pre-sealed compartment which is in different position to the first seal of the pre-sealed compartment. This strategy requires extra manufacturing and processing steps which tends to increase the cost of the production. Beside, water soluble film can be damaged during second seal formation which causes early degradation of incompatible ingredients and thus, reduced cleaning efficiency.

The leak of organic solvent from compartment is also a problem. Organic solvents can be applied in pouches in order to increase the flexibility and plasticity of water soluble films and thus, brittleness of the film is prevented or reduced. However, it has been recognized that the low molecular weight solvents may migrate from the compartment involving liquid composition into the solid composition which leads to the undesirable reaction between bleaching agents and bleach activator. This premature reaction causes the lowered levels of bleaching compounds and thus, reduced cleaning efficiency. EP2397539B1 tries to solve leak problem via the incorporation of polycarboxylate polymer which anticipates reduction of low molecular weight solvent migration. Normally, carboxylated/sulphonated polymers are incorporated in automatic dishwashing solutions to improve cleaning, provide anti-filming and anti-spotting benefits on glass, plastic and metal substrates that is known from EP2025741 B1 , US5547612A. These polymers tends to have poor physical stability therefore, difficult to store, handle and process. Besides, these polymers may become glue- like material as a result of loss of its free-flowing property. Therefore, when carboxylated/sulfonated type polymers are used to prevent the leak of low molecular weight solvent, it does not function properly and thus, cleaning efficiency is reduced.

The sub-portions of the present invention composition are referred with the term soft gel capsule. The present invention unit dose product having water soluble film shell comprising at least one soft gel capsule wherein said soft gel capsules can be different in terms of shape, size, composition and form.

Packaging of the gelatin capsule into unit dose configuration is critical in order to prevent the disappearance of the capsules which can be distributed centrally, right or left side justified or combinations thereof. Besides, these gelatin capsules are configured to be beneath or above or in the midst of the solid composition or mixtures thereof, preferably beneath of the solid composition. Unit dose cleaning product involves at least one soft gel capsule with film material as shell wherein said film materials of said soft gel capsules may be different.

These sub-portions can be separate or conjoint with each other in a proper way. Sub- portions containing liquid, gel or paste compositions can be distributed over the solid composition which is packed together in a different water soluble film to form complete unit dose cleaning product. A unit dose cleaning product of the present invention having soft gel capsule with filling which may comprise non-ionic surfactant and perfume. A unit dose cleaning product of the present invention having water soluble film shell may involve solid particles comprising (a) bleaching agents, (b) builder agents and (c) surfactants.

Gelatin is a stiff, brittle material derived from collagen obtained from animal byproducts. It is a mixture of peptide and protein and prepared by collagen hydrolysis, reducing the cross linking by acid or base or enzymes. It dissolves in hot water whereas it does not dissolve well in cold water. It swells in presence of water and becomes gel.

Gelatin has a widespread use as gelling agent in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. Especially in pharmaceutical industry, capsules are made from gelatin in order to make them easier to swallow. The present invention unit dose cleaning product comprising soft gel capsule with a film as shell comprising gelatin wherein said gelatin comprises the gelatin type with the bloom 80 -250, preferably 150 - 200, more preferably with the bloom around 180. Bloom refers to a test which is applied to measure the strength of a gel or gelatin.

The present invention product, gelatin capsule comprises polyol as plasticizer. Preferred polyols are diols or triols, more preferred one is glycerin. Glycerinized gelatins dissolve slowly. Plasticizers are needed to soften and mobilize the gelatin structure to bring it in the form of a capsule with a proper mechanical strength as well. Insufficient use of plasticizer content causes brittle capsule which do not meet the processability, storage and transportation requirements. Such capsule may crack and burst thus, drain its content whereas excessive use of plasticizer content leads to raised softness which does not meet the mechanical strength requirements. Thus, capsule should have the proficient brittleness and firmness which are required to protect it from burst when the pressure is exerted. Besides excessive plasticizer content leads to faster dissolution since it acts as a solvent which is not desired by the present invention. Additionally, the use of plasticizers prevents the settling of gelatin residues on the cleaned objects as well. Besides, the use of the plasticizer affects the release characteristic of the capsule. The type and content of the plasticizer plays a significant role in the release time adjustment. For said purposes, used polyol content is within the range of 20 % to 50 % preferably 20 % - 30 %. The gelatin capsule of the present invention can be tailored with combination of the content and type of the polyol for desired release time.

In another aspect, the present invention product provides a unit dose cleaning product having at least two compartments comprises as a gelatin capsule with different thicknesses which releases its content in a delayed manner. The present invention product comprises a gelatin capsule with its filling as the first compartment, a solid cleaning composition as the second compartment and polymeric film preferably polyvinyl alcohol covering both first and second compartment. A unit dose cleaning product of the present invention comprises water soluble film shell containing solid particles which are in powder, granule, shaped form or mixtures thereof.

A unit dose cleaning product of the present invention having soft gel capsule contains filling which is in liquid, gel, semi-solid, wax, paste form or mixtures thereof.

The present invention gelatin capsule has the release time within 15 minutes preferably within 10 minutes. The delayed release time is characteristic for the present invention and can be tailored within the mentioned time range. The need for delay may arise from such as perfume release which is inside the gelatin capsule. An early release would cause degradation of the sensitive perfume composition molecules due to prolonged residence time in wash liquor. Since perfumes do not need to reside in wash liquor a delayed release is favorable. The same consideration is also valid for nonionic surfactant, which acts as an auxiliary agent for rinsing hence a delayed release is preferred in this case as well.

The present invention is a unit dose cleaning product comprising gelatin capsule with a film shell wherein said film has the thickness between 0.3 - 1 .5 mm, preferably between 0.5 mm - 1 .3 mm. The lower limit of the thickness depends on the mechanical strength requirements. The gelatin capsule of the present invention should meet the requirements of processability. These are pressure and friction applied onto capsule during manufacturing process. Moreover, the gelatin capsule should resist to some pressure for transportation, storage and handling processing. The required lower limit for the present invention gelatin capsule wall thickness is at least 0.3 mm. This is in accordance with the pressure, processability, transportation and storage requirements to the regular capsule and gelatin capsule.

For the upper limits of the gelatin capsule wall thickness depends on release time and economic feasibility. The thicker the gelatin capsule wall the more time it will require to dissolve and release its content. The unnecessary use of thick gelatin walls does not affect the dissolution anymore and likewise, it becomes a financial burden. Besides a thick wall is going to consume the space which is needed for the compactness and content of the unit dose product. The required higher limit for the present invention gelatin capsule wall thickness is at most 1 .5 mm preferably at most 1 .3 mm. This is in accordance with the dissolution and economic feasibility concerns. After contacting with water, gelatin capsule starts to dissolve and becomes thin, then bursts and thus, release its content to the cleaning environment. This fact ensures that the main wash cycle has already begun and continued for a period of time. Some of the active washing ingredients such as bleaching agents are already consumed in some extend and do not pose a threat for the sensitive ingredients of compartments covered by gelatin such as perfumes. Because perfumes are prone to oxidation and degradation. Its release in late stage of cleaning process will ensure its presence in higher quantity which will result in enhanced fragrance content of the cleaned objects. The late release of the non-ionic surfactants leads to decent shine on the glass, plastic and metal substrates.

Referring to the drawings, FIG.1 represents the unit dose cleaning product (1 ) is covered by a water soluble film shell (2). This unit dose cleaning product (1 ) has preferably two compartments. The gelatin capsule (3) comprising film material as shell (4) and filling (5) is the first compartment wherein said filling (5) in liquid form. The solid cleaning composition (6) is the second compartment of unit dose cleaning product (1 ). Both compartments are covered together with a polymeric film material (2) preferably polyvinyl alcohol. The unit dose cleaning product (1 ) of the present invention can be in rectangular, square, oblong, circle, semicircle, spheres, ovoids and hexagonal, round, square, elliptical and other 3-dimensional shapes having a curved face shape, preferably rectangular in shape as shown in FIG. 2. The gelatin capsule (3) of the present invention can be in rectangular, square, circle, semicircle, spheres, ovoids and hexagonal, round, square, ellipsoid and other 3-dimensional shapes, preferably ellipsoid or spherical in shape as shown in FIG. 3.

The gelatin capsule (3) of the present invention may contain perfumes, nonionic surfactants, rinsing agents and any other ingredients necessary for preparation of such compositions. Ingredients necessary to come into act at a later stage in the cleaning procedure are subject of the present invention. The present invention's unit dose cleaning product (1 ) having soft gel capsule (3) with filling (5) wherein said filling (5) comprises non-ionic surfactant and perfume.

All the compartments having same and/or different physical states are packed together with water soluble film (2) involving polymeric materials. Said polymeric materials may comprise polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl alcohol substituted with sulphate, carboxylate or mixtures thereof, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyalkylene oxides, polymers of acrylamide, acrylic acid, cellulose, cellulose ethers, cellulose esters, cellulose amides, polyvinyl acetates, polycarboxylic acids and salts, polyaminoacids or peptides, polyamides, polyacrylamide, copolymers of maleic/acrylic acids. Preferred polymeric material (2) is polyvinyl alcohol. Water soluble film shell material (2) of the unit dose cleaning product of the present invention is based on polyvinyl alcohol. The unit dose cleaning products (1 ) of the present invention may be used for laundry and dishwashing purposes. By cleaning process, the presence of perfumes and bleaching agent indicates the need of a separation which is enabled with the present invention product. Dishwashing composition of the present invention may comprise any ingredients like surfactants, builder, hydrotropes, solvents, preservatives, antimicrobials, buffering agents, salts, fragrances, perfume, foam booster and enzymes.

Laundry composition of the present invention comprise ingredients like builder, surfactants, corrosion inhibitor, additional alkali, perfume, bleaching agents, hydrotropes, solvents, preservatives, buffering agents, salts, softening agents, foam reducing agents, opacifying agents, dye transfer inhibitor, redeposition inhibitor, enzymes, and processing aids.

The composition of the present invention comprises the following ingredients;

BLEACHING AGENTS

The present invention ensures effective bleaching and cleaning performance by the incorporation of percompounds. Percompounds are oxygen-releasing peroxide compounds which are effective bleaching agents. For the laundering operations, the white fabrics are needed to be treated with bleaching agents in order to prevent yellowing inherent especially to cotton yarns.

The preferred bleaching agent for laundering applications involves the use of hydrogen peroxide sources because it causes less textile fiber damage compared to many other peroxygen sources and it is less aggressive on fabric, enzymes and optical brighteners.

The preferred hydrogen peroxide sources for this invention can be chosen from peroxides and/or persalts. Additionally, the preferred bleaching source is persalt which could be added to the present invention by selecting from the group of perborates (e.g. perborate monohydrate, perborate tetrahydrate), percarbonates, peroxyhydrates, persilicates and persulphates. More preferably, percarbonates are particularly chosen due to (i) their high dissolution rate, (ii) concurrent generation of hydrogen peroxide and carbonate ions which favor the perhydrolysis by maintaining higher pH values. Bleaching agents of the present invention compositions are included in the composition in the range of 1 % to 60 % by weight, varying with respect to the concentration or purpose of the compositions. The preferred percarbonate source for the present invention composition is alkali metal salt of percarbonate. Preferably, sodium salts are preferred. Additionally, percarbonates are chosen as coated in order to improve their stability.

BLEACH ACTIVATOR

The detergent composition of the present invention involves the use of organic bleach activators for bleaching compounds since they do not show remarkable activity at lower temperatures. Use of peroxy compounds in combination with activators results in the formation of peroxy acid which is the active species for bleaching. Since the activity of percompound is strongly dependent on temperature, bleach activators are used to activate bleaching agents to function properly at temperatures below 60°C. These bleach activators speed up the bleaching process so that bleaching can effectively take place at temperatures lower than that in the absence of them. The bleach activators are perhydrolyzed to form a peracid as active bleaching species. During laundering operations, bleaching and whitening at warm wash temperatures are very critical in terms of textile care, cost and energy considerations.

In the present invention compositions, the suitable bleach activator can be selected from the group of activators such that tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED), nonanoyloxybenzene sulphonate (NOBS), sodium 4-(isononanoyloxy)benzenesulphonate (iso-NOBS). The preferred bleach activator for the present invention is tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED). TAED speeds up the bleaching process by reacting with hydrogen peroxide released by sodium percarbonate to produce peroxyacetic acid whose bleaching efficiency is better than hydrogen peroxide, and a molecule of DAED (diacetyl ethylene diamine) which is no longer reactive. The detergent compositions of the present invention comprises up to 3% TAED by weight of the total composition.

SURFACTANTS

Surfactants lower surface tension of water, act as wetness agent which makes the removal of soil possible. Suitable surfactants for such use may be of anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphotheric in nature. Surfactants are used in the present invention in the range of 1 % to 50 %varying with respect to either the concentration or the purpose of the compositions.

Anionic surfactants used in the laundry compositions of the present invention comprises sulfate surfactants, linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, alpha olefin sulfonate, phosphate esters, sulfosuccinate surfactants, sodium dioctyl sulphosuccinate, sulfonate surfactants, alkyl benzene sulfonate, allylsulfate, sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate, alpha olefin sulfonate, linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, alcohol ether sulfate, dodecyl benzene sulfate, Alkyl ethoxy sulfonate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, alkylethoxyphosphate, and mixtures thereof.

Cationic surfactants are generally used as fabric softeners. But addition of small amounts of cationic surfactant helps to the removal of oily stain in the present invention compositions. Long chain quaternary ammonium compounds, cocoalkyl trimethyl ammonium methosulfate, lauryl amido propyl trimethyl ammonium methosulfate, cocoammonium methosulfate, cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride are the compounds of choice.

Nonionic surfactants used in the present invention are preferably ethoxylated alcohols like linear alcohol ethoxylates, fatty alcohol alkoxylate, alkyl phenol ethoxylate octyl phenol ethoxylates, , alkyl amine ethoxylate, alkyl polyglycoside, fatty alkanolamide, amine polyglycol ether, imidazolines, fatty alcools.

Gelatine capsule filling contains fatty alcohol alkoxylate in the present invention product. It acts as surfactant and solvent for perfume compounds. Besides it decreases the surface tension of the wash liquor and prevents hanging of water droplets onto dishes which contributes heavily to the rinsability of the dishes. Thus, this brings about the improved shine on dishware. Amphoteric surfactants used in the laundry compositions of the present invention comprise alkyl dimethyl betaine, alkyl amidopropylbetaine and alkyl amine oxide. Specifically N,N- dimethylacetic acid betaine, alkylamidepropyl-N,Ndimethyl-2-hydroxypropylsulfobetaine and alkylamidepropyl N, N-dimethylpropylsulfobetaine. Among them, lauramidepropyl-N,N- dimethylacetic acid betaine, myristamidepropyl-N, N-dimethylacetic acid betaine, alkylcarbobetaine, alkylsulfobetaine, alkylhydroxysulfobetaine, alkylamideamine-type betaine and alkylimidazoline-type betaine. Cocamidepropyl-N, N-dimethylacetic acid betaine and the like are particularly preferable in terms of detergency, foam producing ability and rinsing property. ENZYMES

The detergent compositions can comprise one or more detergent enzymes up to 5% by weight of the total composition. Examples of suitable enzymes are amylases, arabinosidases, β-glucanases, cellulases, chondroitinase, cutinases, esterases, hemicellulases, hyaluronidase, keratanases, laccase, ligninases, lipases, lipoxygenases, malanases, mannanases, oxidases, pectinases, pentosanases, peroxidases, phenoloxidases, phospholipases, proteases, pullulanases, reductases, tannases, and xylanases or mixtures thereof. A preferred combination is a mixture of enzymes like protease, amylase, mannanase, cellulase and lipase. Enzymes are preferably present in solid cleaning compositions due to stability problems in liquid environments. Enzymes in coated form can be added to the solid compositions containing bleach agent. PERFUMES

Perfumes are compounds having sometimes functional groups like aldehydes, esters, double bond, active hydroxy groups which are sensitive to degradation. Due to volatile nature of perfume, most of these compounds are in liquid form which makes them more prone to degradation. Basic agents and oxidizing agents such as bleaching agents are degrading perfume compounds. Therefore, these compounds should be kept separated from said components. This is achieved with the present invention specific gelatin capsule. With the present invention composition perfumes are delivered to the cleaning environment in a delayed manner. Perfume of any type (oil or encapsulated) can be added to cleaning compositions in order to provide a pleasant smell during and/or after the cleaning of soiled/stained surface by the consumer. The preferred amount of the perfume by weight of total composition is 0.1 - 3.0 %.

BUILDER SYSTEM

Builders are incorporated into cleaning compositions in order to soften the water, boost the detergency effect, inhibit the redeposition and achieve a suspension of the soil during washing process. They have a number of functions including softening, buffering, emulsifying and removal of multivalent cations from water. Builders help emulsify oily or greasy soil by breaking them up to tiny globules and keep it from settling back on the cleaned surface. Additionally, they are expected to contribute the notable cleaning performance by providing alkalinity necessary for washing process, by improving the adsorption capacity and thus in turn effectiveness of surfactants.

The detergent composition of the present invention comprises inorganic and organic builders wherein inorganic builders can be chosen from carbonates, silicates, disilicates, polysilicates, silicate-soda ash co-granules, zeolites whereas organic builders can be chosen from the groups of polycarboxylate polymers such as polyacrylic acid and their salts, modified polyacrylic acid and their salts, acrylic/maleic copolymers, maleic acid/olefin copolymers; monomeric polycarboxylates like citrates, gluconates, oxydisuccinates, glycerol mono-di-and trisuccinates, carboxymethyloxysuccinates, carboxy-methyloxymalonates, dipicolinates, hydroxyethyl iminodiacetates, alkyl-and alkenylmalonates and succinates; and sulphonated fatty acid salts. The preferred inorganic and organic builders are present in alkali metal salt form, preferably sodium salt form.

The preferred builder systems of the present invention contain sodium carbonate, tri sodium citrate as inorganic builders and homo polymer of acrylic acid sodium salt and unsulfonated polycarboxylate polymer as organic builder.

The unit dose cleaning product of the present invention comprises sodium carbonate from 20.0 wt.-% to 60.0 wt. -%, preferably from 25.0 wt.-% to 50.0 wt.-% of total solid composition and tri sodium citrate from 10.0 wt.-% to 40.0 wt. -%, preferably from 15.0 wt.-% to 30.0 wt.- % of total solid composition.

The cleaning composition of the present invention comprises homo polymer of acrylic acid sodium salt from 0.1 wt.- % to 1 .0wt.-%, preferably from 0.3wt.-% to 0.6wt.-% of the total composition and unsulfonated polycarboxylate polymer from 4.0 wt.- % to 10.0 wt.-%, preferably from 4.5wt.-% to 9.5wt.-% of the total composition.

PHOSPHONATES

Phosphonates can be applied as builders or as descaling agents as a stabilizer for peroxide solutions. By this way, percarbonate sustain long term activity and stability thus in turn, enhances both efficiency and the strength of the cleaning during the washing process.

These stabilizers are thought to protect the peroxyacids against iron and copper like heavy metal catalyst decomposition. They improve the bleaching efficiency of the percompound and activator system by inhibiting deleterious side reaction which occurs between formed peracid and percompound in wash solution.

The peroxyacid compositions of the present invention can contain various chelating agents which function as stabilizers in addition to the aminophosphonates and aminocarboxylate chelators specified herein above.

Phosphonates can be selected from amino tris(methylene phosphonic acid) - ATMP, (1 - hydroxyethylidene) diphosphonic acid - HEDP, diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) - DTPMP or their respective salts.

The preferred type of phosphonate in the present detergent compositions is HEDP tetra sodium salt (HEDP.Na). Detergent composition of the present invention comprises phosphonate from 0.5wt.-% to 2.0 wt. -%, preferably from 0.8 wt. -% to 1 .8 wt. -% of the total composition.

The same procedure with same amount of agents as in example 2 is applied except nonionic and perfume are not applied within the gelatin capsule but in laundry composition.

MEASUREMENTS, TEST and EVLUATION METHODS

BLOOM TEST: Gelatin Strength

The strength of gelatin is measured with bloom test which is a test to measure the strength of a gel or gelatin. The test determines the weight (in grams) needed by a probe (normally with a diameter of 0.5 inch) to deflect the surface of the gel 4 mm without breaking it. The result is expressed in Bloom (grades). It is usually between 30 and 300 Bloom. This method is most often used on soft gels. To perform the Bloom test on gelatin, a 6.67% gelatin solution is kept for 17-18 hours at 10°C prior to being tested. The present invention gelatin capsule comprises the gelatin type with the bloom 80-250.

RELEASE TEST of GELATIN CAPSULE

The gelatin capsules containing same amount of ingredients (2.7 g) having different thicknesses are used to figure out the effect of thickness of the film upon dissolution. The release profile of example 3, 4 and 5 were determined under same conditions. The experiments were performed 4 times and average of these results is determined. Gelatin capsule filled with the composition is placed into a beaker of volume 600.0 mL containing 300.0 mL water at 40 °C. Release time of each capsule is determined under continuous stirring at 500 rpm with a magnetic stirrer bar having dimensions of 10.0 mm length and 6.0 mm diameter. The time at which the capsules dissociate is recorded. Table 3: Dissolution time of gelatin capsules having different thicknesses

The thickness of the gelatin capsules affects the dissolution rate and release time of the ingredients. The thicker the gelatin capsule, the more time needed for the dissolution of the capsule and thus, the more time needed for the release of the ingredients.

RELEASE TEST of UNIT DOSE PRODUCT

The present invention unit dose cleaning product prepared according to example 1 having gelatin capsule film shell with the thickness of 1 .2 mm which is prepared according to example 5, has been placed into a beaker of volume 600.0 mL containing 300.0 mL water at 40 °C. The mixture is stirred at 500 rpm with a magnetic stirrer bar having dimensions of 10.0 mm length and 6.0 mm diameter. After 30 seconds, water soluble film shell of unit dose cleaning product (2) is dissolved and then solid particles are released. Gelatin capsule film shell having 1 .2 mm thickness is dissolved and gelatin capsule filling is released into the water after additional stirring of 7 minutes.

Comparative Washing Test Results for Perfume Permanence:

For the assessment of perfume permanence of unit dose cleaning composition of the example 2 product in comparison with the particulate cleaning composition of the example 6 product, washing tests are carried out in the same test conditions. Tests are conducted by using 100% cotton white terry towels which are cut equally.

Tests were carried out in automated (Miele) washing machine in a 109 min washing programme including main wash cycle of 49 min and rinsing of 20 min and the rest of the time for squeezing stages. The detergent amount used in the washing programme was 21 g. The main wash cycle was performed at 40°C. The washed items were then hanged and dried at room temperature (22°C - 24°C) for 24 hours. Following the drying, the washed items were ironed and evaluated. The evaluations are an average of ten washings each. Thereafter perfume performance of both washings is compared by smelling of wet towels according to Scheffe Panel Score Units on the following scale:

0 No difference

1 I think this is better

2 I know this is a little better

3 I know this is much better

4 I know this is very much better

Table 4: Comparative Scheffe values of Washing Results of Example 2 and Example 6 for Perfume Permanence

Comparative washing test results show that delayed release of the perfume prevents or delays the early degradation of perfume composition by reducing the prolonged residence time in wash liquor and thus, good odor profile on the washed items are obtained. Comparative Washing Test Results for Shining of dishware:

For the assessment of shining performance of unit dose cleaning product of the present invention, example 3, 4 and 5 are compared and washing tests are carried out in the same test conditions. Tests are conducted by using dishware such as tea glass, water glass, tea plate, platter and bowl. The shining performance of the unit dose cleaning product is determined by two step procedure. In the first step, the soils are prepared and then, the plates are soiled with the prepared soils. In the second step, the soiled plates are washed with unit dose cleaning composition. The soils used for tests are minces meat, starch, porridge, egg-yolk and egg-milk. Tests were performed three times for each glass wares and the evaluations are an average of three runs for each of them.

Thereafter shining performance of the washings with example 3, 4 and 5 products are compared according to visual evaluation of droplet presence on the dishes with following scale:

1 I think there are more droplets

2 I know there is a little more droplets

3 I know there is a droplet

4 No droplet

Automatic Dishwashing Process:

The dish wares are soiled with specific soil types of prepared test soils. Washings were carried out in automated Bosch washing machine in a 205 min washing programme including main wash cycle of 120 min and rinsing of 45 min and the drying time of 45 min. The detergent amount used in the washing programme was 21 g. The main wash cycle was performed at 50°C.

Table 4: Comparative Washing Results of Example 3, 4 and Example 5 for Shining

Performance

Comparative washing test results show that delayed release of the nonionic surfactant decreases the surface tension of the wash liquor and prevents hanging of water droplets onto dishes which contributes heavily to the rinsability of the dishes thus, provides improved shine of dishware. However, the unnecessary use of thick gelatin walls does not affect the dissolution anymore and thus, the use of thicker gelatin capsule does not affect the shining of dishware. In fact, the use of gelatin capsule thicker than required becomes a financial burden. Besides a thick wall is going to consume the space which is needed for the compactness and content of the unit dose cleaning product.
